My boss takes way more vacation time then the company has given him.
My boss negotiated an extra week off beyond the standard 2 weeks the company gives when hired.
Then he told me he his boss (which is no longer around) gave him another week vacation instead of a pay raise the following year, bringing the total to 4 weeks. When he got a new boss, the new boss said no way and he is back to the 3 weeks.
However, I have been tracking his vacation for the last 2 years and this year is out fo control. I have a calculated 5 weeks, 3 off of the books.

To make matters worse,he is the one who “tracks” time off and hours. He tried to deduct vacation time from me and I have to show him records where he is wrong to get him to correct it. He tried to take off 3 of my days.
Then today by pure accident I found where he was not deducting time off for other employees.

When he takes off all of this time, I am in charge doing his job that I have no authority or paycheck to do.

In general he is a nice guy, but I do not know how much more of this I can take! It is not just me who knows he takes off more time then he is allowed, it is running joke around the office.
i am afraid to tell HR or his boss, I am next in line for his job.
Anyone had any experience like this?

i work in a law firm now. my previous job, i had an excellent relationship with my boss and co workers. i came here and myt life is miserable. i keep trying to connect with my bosses and co workers and they just dont seem to like me. they make you feel very uncomfortable and intimidated. i ask them to go out to lunch (co workers) and they never want to go out. friday, everyone was joking around about a shirt my boss got from a client. we wre all laughing. one of my co workers happens to wear shirts similar to the one my boss got. i laughed and said that looks like something you would wear. i think he dresses very nice and the shrit (in my opinion was very nice) he started screaming, cursing and yelling at me. he was insulted and everyone else said the shirt was ugly. i was trying to join in with everyone and he ruined it for me by yelling and using foul language. i want to leave this place but the market is bad. ive been posting resumes all over. i always had a good relationship w/everyone i worked with. whats their problems? i try my best and no one acknowledges it. i try to fit in and they make it hard for me what are their problems?

boss jokes
Jennifer H asked:


I got this email this morning from my boss, thought it would be one of his daily jokes when I open it said “The poor guy…she had him in the engine compartment so long…his **** turned purple!!!!!

So I was like wow ok it must be a racy joke. So I opened the attachment and it was a video of a girl on a boat and it looked like something from Americas Funniest Home Videos but I soon realized it was porn and clicked off before it got worst (i.e someone walk up and see this) So now I’m wondering did my boss mean to send me this or was it an accident?
And what do I do now? Do I let him know? I don’t want him to think I’m cool with that. and if so how do I say it
Its just my Boss, his son and me who work here. I have no one else to go to except him (my boss) and thats just too awkward for me.
Oh and I left this tid-bit out. About 2 months ago we went to his computer to look up some info for a client and when we got to his computer he closed the window that was on there and behind that was a paused video of porn a girl doing the nasty to a guy. So he fumbled to close that window and behind that window (Im not kidding) was another porn site. He apologized but it just makes our working relationship weird. Now I get this email.
I mean hes the boss and owner of the company so how can I tell him it makes me uncomfortable knowing hes looking at porn behind that closed door.
